Bio-Young
A groundbreaking, easy-to-follow, all-natural anti-aging program using vitamins, natural oils, and many common foods that will help you to look and feel younger.
You’ve always heard that “age is just a number”—now Roxy Dillon, the Youth Guru, has the science to prove it. Those wrinkles under your eyes are not simply an inevitable part of the aging process. Actually, those unpleasant surprises in the mirror are a result of the decline in your cellular and hormonal functions. Science shows us that your hormones quickly decline after age thirty, leading to a variety of changes in your body including hair loss, saggy skin, and unwanted facial hair. The good news is that all of your aging symptoms can be halted—and even reversed.
In Bio-Young , renowned anti-aging expert Roxy Dillon guides you through an easy-to-follow regimen that will naturally stop and reverse the aging process. Amazingly, common plants and foods contain compounds that are now scientifically proven to stimulate cellular and hormonal function, and actually reverse aging! Using ingredients that you can find at home, you can stimulate your hormone-producing glands into youthful activity again. Discover the bio-actives—foods, herbs, supplements, edibles, and essential oils—that you should be eating, or applying externally, and learn how their key compounds (such as resveratrol in red wine, squalene in olive oil, or ferulic acid in rice bran oil) will plump your skin, reduce high blood pressure, and even fight cancer cells. From restoring thinning hair with rosemary and smoothing wrinkles with honey, to preventing grey hair with onion juice—there’s a natural solution for every problem. Roxy has created a clear-cut program that will help you take control of your looks and turn back the clock. Get ready to look and feel years younger!

I don't know about this one. There's a lot of good, legitimate facts in here, but I'm leery of supplements and the whole mentality of "natural is always better 100% of the time". Like I get that sulfur is a good ingredient for the hair, but I'm not exactly into the idea of letting onion juice sit on my scalp like a hair mask before showering. It's really just a bit much.
So I felt like I had to really dig through this information to find the gems. For example, she recommends rosemary essential oil for a lot of skin-related things, but rosemary oil is known to be irritating to the skin. Alternately, she recommends things like evening primrose oil, which is great for the skin. It was a lot of fact-checking to see what tips would be okay or not.
I was interested enough in the subject matter to take the time to fact-check, but it was a little annoying. Overall decent book, but I encourage approaching it with a little skepticism.

This is a 6.5 hour audio book. I highly suggest getting the book instead. I totally enjoyed the audio and the narrator was really good but there is so much info you'd want to reference. You'll have to take notes if it's audio form.
This covers aging, in women. We age because there is a decline in our cellular and hormonal levels. Ideally you should concentrate on the cellular aspect when you're younger and hormonal as you get older. The majority of the info is (natural) remedies (some based in Ayurvedic teachings) that we can take internally or apply to our skin. Some sound like miracles but they're not, otherwise Dillon would be minting in the beauty product industry and not writing books. I do think what she mentions can help to a certain extent (less than what impression is given).
Example of some of the info: use coconut oil for under eye puffiness.
The book is nicely organized. Each chapter covers a different area. The beginning of the chapter is an introduction to why you need to use certain (natural) products and the end of the chapter goes over the exact dosage or (simple) recipe.

I did not finish this book. This is book and its contents are tailor to the female body almost exclusively. I, as a guy, was not the target audience.
